My daughter takes good naps during the day - although not longer than 45 min to 1 hour, she takes them every 3 hours (she is still on 3 hour EASY b/c she was in the hospital for 3 weeks last month, so I have not tried to transition her yet...)
Over the past 5 nights, she has suddenly started having a screaming MELT DOWN from 6 to 7 PM every night. The first night, we thought it was because she was overtired and we vowed to make sure she was taking her naps (and adjust our "errands" schedule accordingly). But the next 4 nights have been exactly the same.
She eats around 4:00, quiet play until 5:15 or 5:30, then bath, jammies, and a nighttime story book/winddown time and to bed. We moved her bath time from 6:00/6:15 and bedtime at 7PM when she started having these meltdowns a week ago, thinking she needed to get to bed earlier. But nothing is working.
I tried PU/PD with her a little tonight, but she screams the entire time.
Any thoughts? Am I feeding her too late? Could it be a growth spurt?(she is eating more now and started solids over a week ago).. she is FINE all day - its consistently at this time. She eventually calms down/stops crying and falls asleep for about 1 hour, then up, eats her last night bottle and is down.
Thoughts?? Suggestions?? Am I missing something??
Thanks! Lisa
